Chapter 38
Chapter 38 : Minister mansion’s most talented woman (20)
Fang Tuo, standing on one side, was the first one to pick up the yellow book . With a shock, he saw Yue Fei’s poem “Man Jiang Hong” on the page .
His pupils shrunk . Afterwards, he rapidly flipped through several pages . He discovered that there was not only this poem, there was also Li Qingzhao’s “Autumn love ” and Li Bai’s “Bringing in the wine “ .
These were all formerly “written” by Bai Zhenzhen .
His face flashed an inconceivable color . Finally, he looked towards Bai Zhenzhen . His facial expression changed a lot, anger, the feeling of being deceived, shamelessness… The only thing that didn’t appear was wors.h.i.+p .
Bai Zhenzhen suddenly grabbed the ancient book in the man’s hands . Not convinced, she flipped through it one time .
She was familiar 1 with each of the poems here, but… how come they appeared here? Her complexion instantly became deathly pale!
How could it be? Was this world not underdevelpped? Didn’t they not have Li Bai and Yue Fei, these people? How could they have these poems? Could it be that there had been other transmigrated people?
But it was not right . If there were other transmigrators, they would have already appropriated these poems to themselves . How could people not possibly be enticed by such fame and profit and endure all their life? Why would they still sign the poems with the original author’s name?
“How could there be these poems in this world? This is unscientific . It should only be known by me!” Bai Zhenzhen’s face was white as she muttered .
This sentence was confessing without being pressed .
The other several officials in the study room originally felt very strange . Now, hearing Bai Zhenzhen’s words, their faces flashed with a grotesque color .
Among them, one man angrily opened his mouth, “Unexpectedly, it turned out to be copying other people’s original work . I say, the reason why Bai family’s second miss had such a big change of character and how she suddenly became someone with such big talent, it was because she stole other people’s verses!”
The venerable cabinet minister suddenly managed to react . “No wonder, it’s no wonder that, at that time, Miss Ye suspected if you could really write that “Shuidiao Getou” that so deeply touched one’s thoughts and feelings about one’s close relative! The original poet was not you!”
At that time, they still thought that Ye Shaohua was a sore loser, what a nasty conduct they had!
Now it seemed that Miss Ye had long seen Bai Zhenzhen’s suspiciousness, obviously they gauged the heart of a gentleman with their own mean measure 2!
Before, they also ridiculed Ye Shaohua, the most talented woman, because of Bai Zhenzhen . Thinking that the most talented woman was actually like this . And just recently, they had asked the Crown Prince to let Bai Zhenzhen off .
When they thought that they had been played with by Bai Zhenzhen . This group of old people who had lived half their lifetime already couldn’t help but turn red . They shamefully wished they could drill a cave and go down there .
Bai Zhenzhen became aware of the surrounding people . Even the small eunuch at the Crown Prince’s side narrowed his eyes and size her up, p.r.i.c.king her back with his gaze . She suddenly thought she resembled a beam jumping clown .
In this study, after a short moment, she couldn’t stay and withdrew . Covering her face, she ran out!
She turned from the number one talented woman into the number one joke in Jingcheng .
After everyone had gone back, Fang Tuo looked at the Crown Prince and whispered: “It’s not the original book, right?”
This yellowed paper looked like an old one at first glance, but Fang Tuo touched it and felt he was mistaken . It was clearly the color of paper that had been soaked in tea and baked on fire .
“That is what Ye… Miss Ye gave you?” Fang Tuo finally asked this sentence .
Huangfu Yunzheng heard his words but didn’t raise his head . He continued to look at the memorial to the emperor with utmost elegance and meticulousness . “What you think it is is precisely what it is . ”
With this answer, Fang Tuo’s complexion was white and his body trembled for a while .
He was certain of the thoughts in his heart .
When he went out again, he walked step by step, awfully slowly, and his back appeared particularly old .
**
His Highness the Crown Prince disregarded former hatred and retrieved several ministers . He still hadn’t exterminated the Third Prince . Outside, the common people were singing the praise of his magnanimity and his talent, the best throughout the world .
Only the Third Prince himself knew why the Crown Prince had the kindness to let him off .
The other party clearly only wanted to let him alive for him to see Huangfu Yunzheng standing on top of the world, let him beg him, let him be so in pain that he did not want to live but still not be allowed to die!
“Third Prince, you go look for the Emperor, look for Ye Shaohua, look for them to let us off, alright?” The steamed buns in her hands were once again taken away by a tramp . Bai Zhenzhen was unable to bear this kind of life anymore . She smelled the rancid stink on her body and shook the Third Prince’s shoulders: “You are the Emperor’s younger brother, he will certainly agree!”
“Are you are not the most talented woman? Don’t you have a big business? Why do you give up so soon? You go, let those respected scholars wors.h.i.+p you ah!” The Third Prince also knew that Bai Zhenzhen had always used other people’s poems to deceive him . Thinking that, because of her, he lost Ye Shaohua, he wished he could choke her to death .
“Do you have something pertinent to say to me? At that time, the emperor wanted to marry you Ye Shaohua! You yourself didn’t want it . Who made your eyes blind is unclear, and now you blame me instead?” Hearing this, Bai Zhenzhen released her hand . The Third Prince did not give her a good att.i.tude, so she did not want to give him face . She said ironically, “Is it very regrettable, Ye Shaohua is the richest person in Jiangnan . If you had married her, this world may have been yours!”
This sentence had ruthlessly p.r.i.c.ked the Third Prince’s heart .
Before Bai Zhenzhen showed up, he had a very good relations.h.i.+p with Ye Shaohua . The two had similar interests, they often played go and discussed history policies together . He also knew that Ye Shaohua was different from him . However, against reason, he lost his heart and insanely chose Bai Zhenzhen .
Every time he thought about it, his inner heart felt penetrating pain . He regretted his past deeds .
He took a deep breath and dejected, he walked toward the main street . The people in the street looked at him with revulsion, pinched their nose and walked far away .
The Third Prince held a broken bowl, too ashamed and resentful to go back .
At this time, he heard the news that everyone on the street was talking about, the reappearance of Huangfu Yunzheng’s recurring illness . He heard that, this time, because of a lack of the main medicinal ingredients, Yu Heng had no way to cure him .
The Third Prince suddenly s.h.i.+ned in front of their eyes, and again took joy in calamity and delight in disaster!
If Huangfu Yunzheng died, wouldn’t he have a chance? He wanted to go to Jingchen and look for Ye Shaohua . When they talked about the world in the past, he really didn’t believe that she was this indifferent and this heartless to him!
When he arrived in Jingcheng, already a few days had pa.s.sed, the whole city was serene and solemn . On the city wall, a white sail was hung .
The entire country was mourning .
The scholars and literati who walked on the street spontaneously wore unadorned white clothes, and their face showed sorrow .
The Third Prince’s heart felt very happy, he was certain now that Huangfu Yunzheng had died!
